1 Sanders: Mosby's Paramedic Textbook, Revised 3 rd Edition PowerPoint Lecture Notes Chapter 24: Head and Facial Traumas Chapter 24 Head and Facial Trauma Objectives Describe mechanism of injury, assessment, and management of: Maxillofacial injuries Ear, eye, and dental injuries Anterior neck trauma Injuries to the scalp, cranial vault, or cranial nerves Objectives Distinguish between types of traumatic brain injury Outline the prehospital management of patients with cerebral injury Calculate a Glasgow Coma Scale, trauma score, revised trauma score, and pediatric trauma score for a given scenario 1
2 Scenario A10-year year-old boy is carried into your station, his arms and legs draped limply over his frantic father s s arms. He fell off an ATV about an hour ago, was knocked out briefly, then seemed fine until he suddenly had a seizure and passed out. Your crew carefully immobilizes him while you determine the following: his airway is noisy, and he has no gag reflex; he is breathing irregularly about 10 times/min; BP 72/50 mm Hg; P 68/min; right pupil 2 mm and reacts to light, left pupil 5 mm and unreactive; flaccid response to pain; wt 35 kg. Discussion What are your immediate priorities for his care? Calculate his GCS, RTS, and PTS What type of brain injury is likely in this child? Explain the significance of his pupillary findings Why might his blood pressure be low? Maxillofacial Injury Arteries Nerves 5th cranial nerve (trigeminal) 7th cranial nerve (facial) Frontal bone Nasal bones Maxilla Zygomatic bone Mandible 2
3 Maxillofacial Injury Causes Motor vehicle crashes Home accidents Athletic injuries Animal bites Intentional violent acts Industrial injuries Maxillofacial trauma classified as: Soft tissue injuries Facial fractures Soft Tissue Injuries Facial soft tissue injuries often appear serious Seldom life threatening Exceptions Compromised upper airway Potential for significant bleeding Soft Tissue Injury Appearance of patient after being attacked and after cleansing 3
4 Mechanism of injury Events leading up to injury Time of injury Associated medical problems Allergies Medications Last oral intake History Spinal precautions Management Assess for airway obstruction Apply suction as needed Secure and maintain airway Ensure ventilation and oxygenation Control bleeding Direct pressure and pressure bandages Facial Fractures Common after blunt trauma Signs and symptoms Fractures of the mandible Dislocations of the mandible 4
5 Fractures of the Midface Middle third of face Maxilla Zygoma Floor of the orbit Nose Fracture of middle 1/3 of face Le Fort Fractures I II III Fractures of the Zygoma Zygoma articulates with frontal, maxillary, and temporal bones Associated with orbital fractures and has similar clinical signs Signs and symptoms 5
6 Fractures of the Orbit Blowout fractures to orbit Periorbital edema, subconjunctival ecchymosis, diplopia, enopthalmos, epistaxis, anesthesia, impaired EOM Suspect injury to orbital contents with any facial fracture Blowout fracture caused by ball s impact Fractures of the Nose Most often fractured structure Injuries may Depress dorsum of nose Displace it to one side Result in epistaxis and swelling (without skeletal deformity) Orbital fractures may also be present Epistaxis Apply external pressure to anterior nares Conscious patient Seated upright or leaning forward while paramedic compresses nares Unconscious patient Positioned on side (if no spinal injury is suspected) Treat for shock if bleeding is severe 6
7 Management of Facial Fractures Assume spine is injured Use spinal precautions Assess airway for obstruction Apply suction as needed Ensure adequate ventilation and oxygenation Control bleeding through direct pressure and pressure bandages Control epistaxis by external direct pressure Nasal and Ear Foreign Bodies Foreign bodies in nose or ear common in children May need transport for physician evaluation Remove foreign body in ear if easily retrieved Do not remove nasal foreign body in field unless it: Compromises airway Can be easily removed without equipment Ear Trauma Lacerations and contusions Usually blunt trauma Treated by direct pressure to control bleeding and ice or cold compresses To decrease swelling 7
8 Ear Trauma Retrieve avulsed tissue if possible Wrap in moist gauze Seal in plastic Place on ice Transport with patient for surgical repair Ear Trauma Partially detached pinna Loss of rim Thermal injuries Ear Trauma Chemical injuries Traumatic perforations Impaled objects Barotitis 8
9 Eye Trauma Common causes of eye injury Motor vehicle crashes Sports and recreational activities Violent altercations Chemical exposure Foreign bodies Animal bites and scratches Evaluation Eye Trauma Evaluation History Exact mode of injury Use of corrective glasses or contact lenses Visual acuity Test injured eye first; compare to uninjured eye Pupillary reaction Extraocular movement Specific Eye Injuries Ocular trauma should be evaluated by physician Foreign bodies Corneal abrasion Blunt trauma Penetrating injury Protruding intraocular foreign bodies Chemical injuries to the eye 9
10 Avulsion of Lid Hyphema Ruptured Globe 10
11 Acid Burn Alkali Burn Corneal Abrasion Care 11
12 Hard lenses Contact Lenses Soft hydrophilic lenses Rigid gas-permeable lenses As a rule, EMS personnel should not attempt to remove contact lenses in patients with eye injuries 32 teeth in adult Sections Crown Root Hard tissues of teeth Soft tissues of teeth Tooth fracture Tooth avulsion Dental Trauma Anterior Neck Trauma Blunt and penetrating trauma Can damage: Skeletal structures Vascular structures Nerves, muscles, and glands of neck Self-inflicted stab wound that had entered pharynx 12
13 Common Mechanisms of Injury Motor vehicle crashes Sports and recreational activities Industrial accidents Violent altercations Hangings Evaluation of the Neck Zone I Injuries carry highest mortality Zone II Most common injuries but lower mortality than zone I injuries Zone III Greatest risk of injury to distal carotid artery, salivary glands, and pharynx Hematomas and Edema Edema of pharynx, larynx, trachea, epiglottis, and vocal cords may obstruct airway completely Consider oral or nasal intubation with spinal precautions in patients with airway compromise Smaller ET tube may be needed 13
14 Hematomas and Edema Other measures to treat edematous airways Cool, humidified oxygen Slight elevation of patient's head (if not contraindicated) Lacerations and Puncture Wounds Superficial injuries Usually managed by covering wound Deep penetrating wounds Serious injuries may require: Aggressive airway therapy and ventilatory support Suction Hemorrhage control by direct pressure Fluid replacement Lacerations and Puncture Wounds Signs and symptoms of significant penetrating neck trauma Dyspnea Hoarseness Stridor Shock Active bleeding Tenderness on palpation Mobility and crepitus Large or expanding hematoma Pulse deficit Neurological deficit Subcutaneous emphysema Hemoptysis Dysphagia Hematemesis 14
15 Vascular Injury Blood vessels are most commonly injured structures in the neck Blunt or penetrating trauma Vessels at risk of injury Carotid Vertebral Subclavian Innominate Internal mammary arteries Jugular and subclavian veins Vascular Injury Management Secure airway with spinal precautions Adequate ventilatory support Control hemorrhage by direct pressure Fluid replacement for hypovolemia guided by medical direction Laryngeal or Tracheal Injury Blunt or penetrating trauma to anterior neck may cause: Fracture or dislocation of the laryngeal and tracheal cartilages Hemorrhage Swelling of air passages Rapid airway control can save patient 15
16 Laryngeal or Tracheal Injury High degree of suspicion for: Vascular disruption Esophageal, chest, and abdominal injury Emergency airway management in these injuries is controversial Esophageal Injury Suspect in patients with trauma to neck or chest Specific injuries that require a high degree of suspicion for associated esophageal injury include: Tracheal fractures Penetrating trauma from stab or gunshot wounds Ingestion of caustic substances Esophageal Injury Signs and symptoms may include: Subcutaneous emphysema Neck hematoma Oropharyngeal or nasogastric blood (indicating esophageal perforation) 16
17 Head Trauma Anatomical components of skull Scalp Cranial vault Dural membrane Arachnoid membrane Pia Brain substances Hair Scalp Subcutaneous tissue Major scalp veins bleed profusely Muscle Attached above eyebrows and at base of occiput Galea Freely movable sheet of connective tissue Helps deflect blows Loose connective tissue Contains emissary veins that drain intracranially Soft Tissue Injuries to the Scalp Irregular linear laceration common May lead to profuse bleeding and hypovolemia Particularly in infants and children 17
18 Soft Tissue Injuries to the Scalp Management Prevent contamination of open wounds Direct pressure or pressure dressings to decrease blood loss IV fluid replacement if needed Consider potential for underlying skull fracture and brain and spinal trauma Facial bones Skull Cranial bones Double layer of solid bone surrounds spongy middle layer Frontal, occipital, temporal, parietal, and mastoid Middle meningeal artery Under temporal bone Can tear artery if fractured Skull floor many ridges Foramen magnum Opening at base of skull for spinal cord Classification of Skull Fractures Linear fractures Basilar fractures Depressed fractures Open vault fractures 18
19 80% of all skull fractures Linear Fractures Not usually depressed May occur without an overlying scalp laceration Generally low complication rate (if isolated injury) Basilar Skull Fracture Basilar Skull Fracture Signs and Symptoms Ecchymosis over mastoid process Temporal bone fracture Battle's sign Blood behind tympanic membrane Fractures of temporal bone Hemotympanum 19
20 Basilar Skull Fracture Signs and Symptoms Ecchymosis of one or both orbits Fracture of base of sphenoid sinus Raccoon's eyes CSF leakage Can result in bacterial meningitis Depressed Skull Fractures Relatively small object strikes head at high speed Often scalp lacerations Frontal and parietal bones most often affected Open Vault Fractures Direct communication between a scalp laceration and cerebral substance Often occur with multisystem trauma High mortality rate May lead to infection (meningitis) Prehospital management 20
21 Severe Fracture of Base of Skull Skull Fractures Complications Cranial nerve injury Vascular involvement Meningeal artery Dural sinuses Infection Underlying brain injury Dural defects caused by depressed bone fragments Cranial Nerve Injuries Usually associated with skull fractures Cranial nerve I (olfactory nerve) Loss of smell Impairment of taste (dependent on food aroma) Sign of basilar skull fracture Cranial nerve II (optic nerve) Blindness in one or both eyes Visual field defects 21
22 Cranial Nerves Cranial nerve III (oculomotor) Origin from midbrain Controls pupil size Pressure on nerve paralyzes nerve Pupil nonreactive Cranial nerve X (vagus) Origin in medulla Nerves that supply SA and AV node, stomach, and GI tract Pressure on nerve stimulates bradycardia Cranial Nerve Injuries Cranial nerve III (oculomotor nerve) Ipsilateral, dilated, fixed pupil Vulnerable to compression by temporal lobe Mimic direct ocular trauma Cranial nerve VII (facial nerve) Immediate or delayed facial paralysis Basilar skull fracture Cranial nerve VIII (auditory nerve) Deafness Basilar skull fracture Brain Trauma Traumatic insult to the brain is capable of producing physical, intellectual, emotional, social, and vocational change Primary brain injury Secondary brain injury 22
23 Brain Trauma Brain occupies 80% of intracranial space Components Brain stem Diencephalon Cerebrum Cerebellum Brain Trauma Categories Mild diffuse injury Moderate diffuse injury Diffuse axonal injury Focal injury Mild Diffuse Injury (Concussion) Fully reversible brain injury No structural damage to brain Causes Signs and symptoms Management 23
24 Moderate Diffuse Injury Minute petechial bruising of brain tissue Brain stem and reticular activating system involvement lead to unconsciousness Signs and symptoms Management Diffuse Axonal Injury (DAI) Most severe brain injury Brain movement within skull secondary to acceleration or deceleration forces DAI may be classified as mild, moderate, or severe Diffuse Axonal Injury Mild DAI Coma of hrs Moderate DAI More common Coma >24 hrs and abnormal posturing Severe DAI Formerly known as brainstem injury Severe shearing of axons in both cerebral hemispheres extending to brain stem 24
25 Focal Injury Specific, grossly observable brain lesions Result from: Skull fracture Contusion Edema with associated increased ICP Ischemia Hemorrhage Intracranial Contents Brain water: 58% Brain solids: 25% Cerebrospinal fluid: 7% Intracranial blood: 10% Cerebral Contusion Bruising of brain around cortex or deeper within frontal, temporal, or occipital lobes Structural change in brain tissue Greater neurological deficits and abnormalities than with concussion Coup injuries Contrecoup injuries 25
26 Edema Significant brain injuries may result in swelling of brain tissue With or without associated hemorrhage Swelling results from humoral and metabolic responses to injury Increase in intracranial pressure May be decreased cerebral perfusion or herniation Ischemia Can result from: Vascular injuries Secondary vascular spasm Increased intracranial pressure Focal or more global infarcts can result Hemorrhage Into or around brain tissue Epidural or subdural hematomas can compress underlying brain tissue or intraparenchymal hemorrhage Often associated with: Cerebral contusions Skull fractures 26
27 Cerebral Blood Flow Oxygen and glucose delivery are controlled by cerebral blood flow A function of cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) and resistance of the cerebral vascular bed CPP = MAP - ICP MAP = Diastolic pressure + 1/3 Pulse pressure Cerebral Blood Flow As ICP approaches MAP: Gradient for flow decreases Cerebral blood flow is restricted When ICP increases, CPP decreases Cerebral vasodilation occurs Increased cerebral blood volume (increasing ICP) Cerebral Blood Flow Vascular tone in brain regulated by: Carbon dioxide pressure (PCO 2 ) Oxygen pressure (PO 2 ) Autonomic and neurohumoral control PCO 2 has greatest effect on intracerebral vascular diameter and subsequent resistance 27
28 Intracranial Pressure (ICP) Normal range is torr When ICP rises above this level Cerebral blood flow decreases Body tries to compensate for decline in CPP by a rise in MAP: Further elevates ICP, and CSF is displaced to compensate for the expansion If unresolved, brain substance herniates Effects of Increased Intracranial Pressure Increased Intracranial Pressure Early Headache Nausea and vomiting Altered level of consciousness Eventually, Cushing s s triad Increased systolic pressure (widened pulse pressure) Decreased pulse rate Irregular respiratory pattern 28
29 Increased Intracranial Pressure Herniation through temporal lobe causes compression of cranial nerve III (oculomotor) Patient rapidly unresponsive to verbal and painful stimuli Exhibits decorticate posturing or decerebrate posturing Posturing Abnormal flexion (decorticate posturing) Abnormal extension (decerebrate posturing) Critical Signs of Herniation Unresponsive patient with: Bilateral, dilated, unresponsive pupils OR Asymmetric pupils (>1 mm) AND Abnormal extension (decerebrate) posturing OR No motor response to painful stimulus 29
30 Respiratory Patterns Associated with increased intracranial pressure and brain stem injury: Hypoventilation Cheyne-Stokes breathing May accompany decorticate posturing Central neurogenic hyperventilation May accompany decerebrate posturing Ataxic breathing Respiratory Patterns Types of Brain Hemorrhage Classified according to location: Epidural Subdural Subarachnoid Cerebral (intraparenchymal) 30
31 Epidural Hematoma Collection of blood between cranium and dura in epidural space Rapidly developing lesion from laceration of middle meningeal artery Common causes Signs and symptoms Management Subdural Hematoma Blood between dura and surface of brain in subdural space Usually bleeding from veins that bridge subdural space Subdural Hematoma Classifications Acute symptoms <24 hours Subacute symptoms days Chronic symptoms >2 weeks Signs and symptoms 31
32 Subarachnoid Bleeding Intracranial bleeding into CSF, resulting in bloody CSF and meningeal irritation Signs and symptoms Intracerebral Hematoma > 5 ml blood somewhere within brain Commonly frontal or temporal lobe Causes Signs and symptoms Penetrating Injury Missiles fired from handguns Stab wounds Falls High-velocity motor vehicle crashes Associated injuries Complications Definitive care 32
33 Assessment and Evaluation Consider: Mechanism and severity of injury Level of consciousness Associated injuries Assess GCS every 5 min Determine pupil Size Reactivity Assessment and Management Maintain airway Maintain SaO 2 >90% NS or LR fluid bolus if adult BP <90 mm Hg Hyperventilate only when critical signs of herniation are present Neurological exam Assessment and Management Drug therapy Medical direction may prescribe drugs for head injuries (considered controversial) Mannitol for cerebral edema Lorazepam and diazepam for seizure activity Rarely used in prehospital setting in HI due to sedation Lidocaine to control ICP that occurs with ET intubation Sedatives and paralytics for airway management 33
34 Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) Evaluates: Eye opening Verbal responses Brain stem reflex function Evaluate at least every 5 min Mild head injury: GCS Moderate head injury: GCS Severe head injury: GCS <8 Trauma Score (TS) Predicts outcome of patients with blunt or penetrating injuries Modified trauma index to include systolic blood pressure, respiratory rate, and the GCS Limited use in prehospital setting Revised Trauma Score (RTS) GCS with systolic blood pressure and respiratory rate RTS essentially same as TS except for consideration of capillary refill Patients with RTS of <11 should be transferred to a level I trauma center 34
35 Pediatric Trauma Score (PTS) Evaluates: Size (weight) Airway Central nervous system Systolic blood pressure Open wound Skeletal injury Pediatric trauma patient with PTS <8 should be transported to a level I trauma center Other Methods CUPS system Assigns patients to one of four categories Constant monitoring of patient is crucial Changes in patient s s status may alter the course of a treatment plan Conclusion Head injuries affect nearly 4 million people each year in the United States. Approximately 50,000 patients with severe head trauma die each year before reaching the emergency department. Accurate assessment and appropriate prehospital intervention can improve survival and brain function for patients with these injuries. 35
